Chef Kawagoe takes on a Japanese classic, "Oyakodon." Following Chef Kasahara's recipe, he shares how to make a sweet and savory golden oyakodon with added sweetness from onions and richness from butter. This dish, with its exquisite texture of runny egg and the umami of pre-seasoned chicken, is irresistible.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)
- 300g chicken thigh
- 140g onion
- 50g enoki mushrooms
- 4 eggs
- A little Mitsuba (Japanese parsley)
- 5g butter
Seasonings
- [A] 200cc water
- [A] 1 tsp Japanese dashi granules
- [A] 100cc mirin
- [A] 50cc soy sauce
- [B] 1 tsp sugar
- [B] 2 tsp soy sauce
- A little salad oil
Steps
- Thinly slice 140g onion and remove the stem from 50g enoki mushrooms, then chop them finely.
- Trim excess fat and sinew from 300g chicken thigh and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Place the cut chicken thigh in a bowl, add 1 tsp sugar and 2 tsp soy sauce for marinating, rub together, and let it soak for 10-15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix 200cc water, 1 tsp Japanese dashi granules, 100cc mirin, and 50cc soy sauce to make the seasoned broth.
- Heat a little salad oil in a frying pan. Add half of the sliced onion and all the enoki mushrooms and stir-fry until softened. 【The key here!】 Stir-frying the onion brings out its sweetness.
- Once the vegetables have softened, add the marinated chicken thigh and 5g butter. Stir-fry until fragrant and browned.
- Add the seasoned broth, remaining onion, and the stems of the mitsuba, and simmer.
- Lightly skim off any scum that appears during simmering. Taste and adjust seasoning once the chicken is cooked.
- Crack 4 eggs into a separate bowl and lightly beat them until the whites and yolks are just mixed. 【The key here!】 Don't overmix to maintain the texture of the egg.
- Lower the heat slightly. Pour half of the beaten egg over the ingredients, drawing circles from the center outwards. Let it cook until semi-done, absorbing the broth.
- Pour in the remaining egg in the same way and cook until it reaches your desired runny consistency. 【The key here!】 Adding the egg in two batches creates a delightfully runny texture.
- Serve rice in a bowl and top with the oyakodon mixture from the pan, which has been removed from the heat.
- Garnish with your desired amount of mitsuba and it's ready to serve.
